I like the new snow troopers. The new guy, he uh, he looks like a ****.
He looks like Marilyn Manson.

Jared Leto as the joker looks more intimidating.
Source: http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/4 ... e#/slide/1ComingSoon wrote:Just days after word broke confirming that Chronicle and Fantastic Four helmer Josh Trank will not be directing the upcoming second Star Wars Anthology film comes word, via TheWrap, that the project will be a Boba Fett movie, centering on the fan-favorite intergalactic bounty hunter. Although the outlet uses the term “origin story,” we already saw the origins of young Boba Fett and how he lost his “father,” Jango Fett, in 2002’s Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones. Assuming this new report is accurate, it’s likely that the new film will update us on early Boba Fett adventures taking place somewhere between Attack of the Clones and The Empire Strikes Back.
Boba Fett’s first appearance was in an animated segment of the non-canonical “Star Wars Holiday Special.” Beyond his role in four of the six current “Saga” films (including a Special Edition appearance in the original Star Wars), Fett’s story has been expanded on in several episodes of the canonical animated series, “Star Wars: The Clone Wars.”
The new Anthology film is expected to hit theaters in 2018, following J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens this December 18, Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One on December 16, 2016, and Rian Johnson’s Star Wars: Episode VIII on May 26, 2017.
But that's what he was. A bounty hunter, not an assassin, but he was a loner nonetheless. He barely even spoke. A movie about Jango? That might be more exciting. I wonder if Lucas wrote him as an homage to the original Django?SKYWARPED_128 wrote:it'll have to be really good to avoid the cliches of a typical "lone-assassin" action story.

I don't think we'll have to worry about that. I'm fairly certain Boba made up his mind to be a ruthless loner a**hole the moment Mace Windu chopped off Jango's head. Or right after, when he picked up the helmet with said head still inside.SKYWARPED_128 wrote:You have a point about him being a lone bounty hunter and all, but what I'm trying to say is that I hope they won't make up a predictable plot that most scriptwriters use for action movies of this genre.
You know, like "lone mercenary/bounty hunter gets framed for a crime he didn't commit and has to find the true perp". I mean, it's fine to start a story in that direction, but it takes a lot of creativity and effort to make it its own thing.

RAR wrote:I suspect I feel like that about Star Wars and yet not like that about Star Trek as Star Trek or even Terminator Geneysis as they didn't so much destroy their predecessors as branch from them.
Force Awakens feels to me at times like I am standing in horror watching a mad man run riot in a puppy farm with a fire axe.

Again, I can't agree or disagree, it depends on how the writers use these concepts. But it is interesting to see how these abandoned ideas will or won't work with 40 years of retrospect.

One of the concept artists is amazing, and if you haven't seen his work, I really recommend it.

Yes. That last part is currently my biggest fear, not the other stuff that we've been shown. If anything though, Abrams is not trying to say that's not what he's doing, like he tried with Star Trek Into Darkness.

Like Republic Commando. Or more than half of Clone Wars. Or KOTOR and its sequels.

Jeez, I understand you're all cynical about this, and that comment about being filled with horror at the animatronic creations cut particularly deep, but this is Star Wars, this isn't Transformers 5! We (meaning I, apparently) can actually believe that this movie is going to be fantastic.

Wait which half of clone wars? I really liked the "original" animated series from like 2002.

I don't have a reason to doubt this Star Wars won't be at least entertaining when it's all said and done. I like his decision to try to take an old-school approach to this movie - that alone will raise it above the prequel trilogy. I'm reserving judgment on one or two aspects of the movie (one of which is Adam Driver's casting), but overall I'm excited & optimistic about Ep. VII and can't wait for December (Merry Christmas, Earth).

RAR wrote:I'm not a fan of the Clone Wars cartoon - it was fine as a short to fill in some gaps but there did really seem to me that they needed to stretch it out as much as they did, and some things they added actively harmed the franchise ; like the whole refusal of the call thing with the "Force Gods" is enough to make any fan of the original films 'flinch' as much as Midiclorians or Yoda with a Lightsaber does.
